    That's exactly what the problem is! Just because you used to periodically work out in routine, your muscles were used to exerting more. In your mind, you feel since you remember your normal work out routine, you automatically assume that your body is capable of the same strength. Actuality, its not. This is the reason for the extreme pain that comes a few days ( always around the 2-3 ) that literally make you feel like you want to stay in bed! I've been working out on/off, due to a busy life of course, you get the soreness. In the end however, pain is gain!

    Cheers!
